What a lovely recipe – had to read the comments to discover what a Whopper was (Malteasers to us British cooks), but recipe looks great. As I work for a professional catering company I'm always on the lookout for recipes to try with our catering equipment.
Barb says
Looks great Brandie, going to pin it now!
Joan says
Made this recipe into cupcakes and I used heavy whipping cream to whip my own frosting. It is sooooo good!

if you can't find the malt powder, would chocolate malt Ovaltine powder be a close enough substitute?
Anonymous says
I can't find chocolate malt but I did find Carnation regular malt. Do you think it would make a huge difference in the taste? Also like the above comment I did see the Ovaltine chocolate malt but wasn't sure if it would be the same.
Judy Myers says
Brandie – I followed the directions exactly but the batter was extremely thin – much thinner than in your video. What did I do wrong? Is 1 cup water too much perhaps? this looks like a wonderful cake and I want it to work! Can you advise?
Susan Miller says
When I saw Whopper I thought it meant a really big cake and almost deleted it unread until I thought maybe you meant one of my favorite candies of all time! I’m so glad I checked! This looks yummy, and thanks for including the photo so that I know exactly which kind of malt powder to buy.
Wanda says
Should this cake be refrigerated? Do the whoppers on top stay crunchie ?
Brandie @ The Country Cook says
Hi Wanda, it does need to be kept refrigerated. The whoppers probably won’t stay crunchy so you can add them on as you serve if you’d like! 🙂
